Join Us During The World Intelligent Farming Webinar

There isn’t an industry left unaffected by COVID-19 but the farming and agriculture sector have been hit unexpectedly hard as supply chains were shut down and markets had to find sources closer to home for produce, meat and more.

We would like to do our part to continue the push for more sustainable farming practices through improved methods and new innovations by offering a free webinar during this time of self-isolation. Just because we can’t meet in person does not mean these important conversations have to stop.

Join us on May 14th as we discuss the future of farming and agriculture technology transforming the market.

Peter Lane, Chairman of Vertical Farming Network, will be chairing our event and discussing the realities of vertical farming.

We will also be joined by Cees Jan Hollander, Global Farming Expertise Manager with Danone, and Christian Bengtson, EMEA Head of Agriculture - Weather Business Solutions with IBM.

Two other keynote speakers will be joining us as well. Register to learn more!

Don’t miss this two-day opportunity to connect with agriculture experts and contribute to the conversations shaping the future of farming.

These speakers will be returning and will be joined by several other industry experts during the in-person summit scheduled for September 3rd & 4th. That summit will continue the discussion around technological advancements and real-world applications of smart sensors, precision agriculture, vertical farming and robotic applications in agriculture.

Recap of the World FUTURE Ports Webinar

The rapid COVID-19 outbreak impacted our spring plans and daily operations greatly, as it did and continues to do too many of you. Many of our summits had to be transitioned into webinars.

One of those events was the World FUTURE Ports Webinar, that was held last week. Attendees of the webinar got to experience two days of knowledge sharing around the latest technology and recent events that have impacted the maritime industry.

The event was chaired by Mare Straetmans with Van Oord. He moderated us through discussion with executives from the Port of Barcelona, Maersk and more.

Topics discussed the first day included future port scenarios, sustainability and digitization challenges plus much more. It was a very insightful day.

Mare Straetmans returned on our second day of the World FUTURE Ports Webinar to lead us through discussions with experts from Nokia, the Port of Hamburg and others.

Discussions on day two included examples of digital twin projects and the technology driving the automation of container terminals and ports.

Of course, we also examined the impact COVID-19 is having on the shipping industry and the solutions needed to overcome this unprecedented situation.

It was refreshing to see and hear from others interested in the future of ports during this time of isolation. We are so happy that during this difficult period people are still sharing knowledge and supporting innovation.

It’s important during this time of uncertainty to stay connected to your community and we are proud to provide an avenue for you to do that.

We also have several other webinars coming up. Check out our blog post discussing our decision to transition some summits into webinars for more information.

Innovation Doesn’t Stop. Transitioning To Webinars In Response To COVID-19

Luxatia International was founded to provide a platform for industry experts to come together to connect, share ideas and debate about trending topics across several industries. We conduct thorough market research to host summits that will facilitate meaningful discussions around global tech that will empower us today and in the future. We fully believe these discussions are still very important and should not be put on pause because of the circumstances but we are aware of the seriousness of COVID-19 and understand our responsibility to adapt to how these events are held.

After many in-depth discussions internally and with our sponsors, speakers, partners and delegates, we’ve all concluded it is in the benefit of everyone to transition a few summits into webinars until the effects of COVID-19 start to diminish. Travel advisories and restrictions rapidly increased and we don’t want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to share in these discussions.

Being a small, independent business, this decision did not come lightly but we are confident we are doing the right thing, as the health and safety of not only our staff but of the venue employees and all attendees are our utmost concern.

For the webinar, a full agenda will be available on the set dates of the event and both days will contain experiences, projects and insights from global brands. You can request a free brochure at any time before the summit to see the full line up of speakers. Everyone who registers for a webinar will have access to view pre-recorded sessions on demand.

We feel like this is a better alternative than a live stream as everyone’s schedules have been disrupted by working from home, children being out of school, etc. The pre-recorded sessions allow you to start and stop the recordings as you need to.

 

HERE ARE THE SUMMITS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE AS WEBINARS:

• World Future Ports Webinar(April 2nd & 3rd)
• 4th Annual Ticketing Innovations Webinar(April 23rd & 24th)
• World Intelligent Buildings Webinar(April 23rd & 24th)
• 5th Corporate Learning and Development Webinar(May 14th & 15th)
• 2nd World Voice Innovation Webinar(June 4th & 5th)

 We understand the main concern with switching to webinars is the lack of in-person networking. We don’t believe it would beneficial to try and group people into video chats for networking opportunities so instead, we have a LinkedIn group set up for each of our summits. Each person that registers receives a link to join that group. We encourage you to use this resource as a networking tool.

You can post in the group for everyone, maybe telling a bit about yourself and discussing any projects you are working on or challenges you are facing or you can scan through the members of the group and see if there is anyone specific you’d like to connect with. Reach out to them through LinkedIn and set up some video chats from there.

Most of us are in isolation so these chats are welcomed!

You can also engage with others viewing the webinar through the event hashtag on Facebook, Twitter and even Instagram!

We are working hard to provide our amazing network with the same quality discussions, connections and experience sharing they have come to expect from Luxatia International events.

We are encouraged that these webinars will help us stay connected within our communities and stay up to date on changes within our industries. Although the coronavirus outbreak has been severe and very concerning, we are determined not to let it hinder the valuable progress technology can have on our world.

Thank you all for understanding and your continued support. We will all get through this together. We look forward to connecting with you online until we can meet up again. We eagerly await the summits later in the year when we can interact face-to-face again.

We wish you and your loved ones the best during these trying times!
